Unused Vintage Japanese Matching Mofuku Zori & Handbag Set for Formal or Solemn
Occasions
…
Tengu was founded 1894
(Meiji 27)
in Shinsaibashi, Osaka and was one of Japan’s finest footwear makers, producing beautifully designed, Japanese made zori and
geta
for generations
.
Sadly they lost out to competition from overseas manufacturing and closed their doors forever in 2002 after 118 years in business.
This is a formal set for use when wearing a kimono for occasions such as funerals or other solemn ceremonies but is not limited to such purposes. The bag and zori are made of a the same matt synthetic fabric. The zori have leather soles and are of excellent quality.
This set has never been used and is in perfect new condition in the original box. The box has some shelf-wear and torn corners...
The Zori are a standard Japanese size 24cm, however in Japan, your foot is not expected to necessarily ‘fit’ in the Western sense and it is considered optimal to overhang the heal by a few centimeters.
The bag has a clasp fastener and is fully lined with an internal pocket and hinged chain so it can be used as either a clutch or handbag
…
The Bag measures:
9½” or 24cm long
2
½
”
or 6cm thick
5½” or 14cm high
12
”
or 31cm drop with chain strap in use
.

These are all vintage although some are unused, like new or have stains or other damage so
